Dammit..put 7, 8, or 9 blades, and charge $50 more.. it will be worth it! The specs do list 9 blades.

I would be shocked if it comes in at the $700 range as its construction is equal to the new 24-70mm. What is the source for this price range? 6D, 5D, 7Dii, Eos R and too many lenses, flashes and aux. gear to list!

Expect in the $1299 (likely)-$1499 (less likely) range. I am thinking around the $1349-$1499 range, I am really wanting to see how it reviews. I am wanting to get this instead of the canon mkII and save the extra $$ for a 17-55 2.8 Gear List~Website
